I know what's up with Kevin (sliding into curbs)...poor car. I spoke with Brett a bit.

What's up with Nate & Scott lately? Last I heard, you guys were knocking out exhaust system installs. How that go? What's the progress on both cars?

well what broke??

Yea, check your PM Kevin. Got a proposal for ya on suspension repair. Let me know what's up.

Honestly, I'd get another Honda for a winter beater. They are one of the few cars IMO, that you can still get cheap and can be reliable with good gas mileage. Look into an Accord or Civic. Although, an older Subaru with AWD would be great for our winters and are supposedly reliable.

well what broke??

hey sleeper where do you hail from?

[megarock15]

hey cisco just curious with a dohc vtec what would happen if you put a more agressive cam in for the low/idle rpm, and getting it closer to the high rpm cam ? im just trying to get a little bit of a better understanding of VTEC? whould that go and defeat the purpose of VTEC?

[HondaFan81]

Scott,

If you're sticking to the regular stage 1 or 2 VTEC camshafts, you'll be fine. It's when you get into the higher Pro-series, etc that you're low RPM cam lobes get significantly more aggressive.

You don't want the low RPM cam lobes to get too aggressive or you lose the stock-like idle and low RPM driveability that makes VTEC nice, then it will kick into the high RPM cam lobes for performance. The change between the two profiles has to be somewhat smooth, not too aggressive or you basically end up with VTEC only cam lobe profile like some dragsters. You will end up with very lopey idle/low RPM driveabilty issues, but it will scream when it gets into its sweet spot at higher RPMs.

Also, keep in mind that as you get more aggressive in camshafts, it's not just that component that changes. Many things go along for the ride that you will have to upgrade to make it ALL work properly and reliably. You open a whole can of worms and it costs money. Do what fits YOUR budget after taking into account the WHOLE story.

PM me if you have any further questions.
